The worlds of entertainment and amateur cricket collided in spectacular style at the recent Celebrity Cricketers Fraternity (CCF) showcase tournament — an unforgettable celebration of sport, star power and community spirit. Organised in collaboration with Last Man Stands, the event brought together famous faces and grassroots cricket heroes for a unique fusion of friendly rivalry and fanfare. From big hits to big laughs, the day delivered memorable moments on and off the pitch, while reinforcing the role of cricket in uniting people across cultures and backgrounds.
A Star-Studded Scorecard
The CCF event featured a line-up of celebrity players from film, music, sport and social media, all donning LMS team kit and stepping onto the LMS pitch with energy and enthusiasm.
The format followed LMS's signature fast-paced T20 rules, giving spectators a thrilling, action-packed experience that still left plenty of time for meet-and-greets and interviews. Off the field, a festival-like atmosphere kept the energy high, complete with DJs, food stalls, and charity activations.
A Platform with Purpose
While the day was packed with fun, the CCF was also designed to shine a light on important causes. Several matches were played in support of community cricket development projects, mental health awareness campaigns, and grassroots sport funding initiatives.
"This wasn’t just about cricket. It was about using the power of sport and celebrity to bring people together for something bigger," said Co-founder, Bjorn Briggs. “We’re proud to work with the CCF to highlight how amateur cricket can have a global impact — not just for players, but for the communities we serve.”
Growing the Game, Globally
The success of the CCF aligns with LMS’s broader mission — to make cricket more accessible, social and exciting for players of all levels and from all walks of life. With franchises now operating in over 15 countries, LMS is actively working with ambassadors and partners who share a passion for both cricket and social impact.
Final Word
Whether it was a six landing in the crowd or a heartfelt post-match interview, the CCF reminded us all of what cricket can be: competitive, entertaining and a powerful force for connection.
